Background

Michigan International Speedway (MIS) is a {{convert|2|mi|km|adj=on}} moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located off U.S. Highway 12 on more than {{convert|1400|acre|km2}}{{cite web |title=About MIS |url=http://www.michiganspeedway.com/track%5Finfo/about%5Fmis |access-date=May 17, 2013 |publisher=Michigan International Speedway}} approximately {{convert|4|mi|km|spell=in}} south of the village of Brooklyn, in the scenic Irish Hills area of southeastern Michigan. The track is {{convert|70|mi|km}} west of the center of Detroit, {{convert|40|mi|km}} from Ann Arbor and {{convert|60|mi|km}} south and northwest of Lansing and Toledo, Ohio respectively. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is sometimes known as a sister track to Texas World Speedway, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by NASCAR. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).

Michigan is the fastest track in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners, long straightaways, and lack of a restrictor plate requirement; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of {{convert|200|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} and corner entry speeds are anywhere from {{convert|215|to|220|mph|abbr=on|km/h}} after the 2012 repaving of the track.
